Hello
My cube formula looks like this:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Value 3]";$A$18;"[Kalender].[YYYYMM]";"[Kalender].[YYYYMM].&[2.02001E5]")
I'd like to change this highlighted part to a reference to a cell. However, If I do it like this, then I get REF error. What is the problem?
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Value 3]";$A$18;"[Kalender].[YYYYMM]";"[Kalender].[YYYYMM].&["&C19&"]")
In cell C19 I have the YYYYMM value used in the pivot (202001).
Thanks for the help!
Hi @maasool ,
I'm sorry you're having trouble. But your question doesn't seem to belong to the Power Query forum. In the Power Query, M language is used mostly. The function you provided seems to be from the Excel, right?
You may refer to the document for reference:
GETPIVOTDATA function (microsoft.com)
Best Regards,
Stephen Tao

Microsoft doesn't seem to have Power Pivot forum and this seemed the closest place to it.
